House Speaker. Ryan, let's sneak a big deficit potential in the budget

Typical Republicans on the budget. Short term financing is what Ryan want, he consumes borrowing capacity for the first six months, and that is the Trump bump, a little twerp in the House. If our boy gets a big bump, we can expect a budget shutdown later.

Hill: Senate GOP members are instructing the Appropriations Committee to begin working on a stopgap that would fund the government through March, according to a Senate aide.The effort shows that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is going along with the plan laid down by Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to move the short-term measure, even if the Senate GOP hasn’t completely bought in on the strategy.
